 :signLOL:

Looks like Revo is now competing with APR to buy or get into bed with as many of the industry's independent companies as possible!

Much as I like Revo, I don't think that many of the BSH products measure up to the hardware products which APR offer. Just my opinion.

I think it's a shame if we, the consumer/end-user, can eventually only choose from two big companies. Big doesn't always equal best.

....Indeed it does. That's why I used the word "many".  :happy2:

And it's probably the main BSH product which is of any direct use to Revo developments.

Wonder how long it will be before APR or Revo attempt to buy the likes of Shark, Jabbasport and R-Tech to completely squash to the market to be a "Big 2" only.

Maybe it'll mean they make better quality stuff. The True Seal is, to my eyes, the best looking intake on the market but it's not compatible with RHD cars which only learned after fitting mine. BSH's customer service is terrible too. Maybe Revo can help with that.

.
I'm reminded of what a Native American friend once said: "The Red Man chases the Vision, the White Man chases the dollar" - He was referring to white Americans in particular. The Brits are generally more likely to chase their visions and the dollar will follow (or not as the case may be) whereas the Yanks are generally primarily profit orientated regardless of the product. It's a generalisation of course but there is some truth in it.

I'd expect to see a big response to APR's turbo kit coming very soon. And so the games begin again - Who has the most power? Aggressive attacks on product quality. Fanboy forum arguments. Pissing contests. Bullsh*t dyno results..... Yawn.

Question is, who'll be the first person who jumped to APR to go back to REVO??
